Default ATTN: People who use Viigo for live sports scores

Please Login to Remove!

Do your scores update instantly? For mine, it takes a long time to get the score right, even if i click update channel or update all channels. I have tested it while watching the game live on my tv, and check Viigo which still happens to be way behind....Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else have a solution?

I did not try a live comparison, but it works well enough for me.

Have you checked out the blackberry app world yet?

Dan,
Which is going to be more likely at fault, Viigo, or the RSS feed that you're looking at.

A good idea would be to look at the RSS feed from the site while the match is on and see if that's what's taking the time for the website in question to update.

Viigo was a bit behind last fall during football as well. However, it is great if you are not worried about instant/live scoring. If you are, like when a great Gator game is on, ESPN is faster. CBS isn't bad either. But Viigo is great for watching multiple teams throughout the day on a big game day, Saturdays and Sundays in the fall.

PocketDay Sports was fast, but it required a subscription fee. When my trial ended I deleted it, but they updated immediately.
